by Geoffrey Abreu on March 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 9 ≡

My first build of 2021 is complete. This is the 1/72 Hasegawa P-51K. Although the Hasegawa kit is getting a bit long in the tooth, I think it still builds into a nice representation of a Mustang. I added CMK resin wheels, Quickboost resin [...]

by Harvey R. on March 19, 2021 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

My first of the Operation Vengeance trio in 1/48 was this Lightning, an amazing kit and probably the best engineered model I've made to date. There isn't a lot of negatives to say about this kit, in fact whilst I completed this model in [...]

1/48 JU-87R-2 Stuka, Hubert Polz’s desert snake, 6./St.G 2, 1941, Tmimi, Libya

by Colin Latta on March 18, 2021 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

This is my interpretation of Hubert Polz's JU-87R-2 Stuka while stationed at Tmimi, Libya in 1941. There are only a few (4, I believe) photo's of this aircraft, so a lot of the scheme is speculative (even the color of the snake is [...]
